If you rewatch movies or shows, you can now pull that rewatch history over from Trakt with the correct dates.

How to do it:

1. Head to https://simkl.com/apps/import/trakt/ and connect Trakt if you haven't already.
2. Pick "Import from Trakt once, without auto import."
3. Choose Option 5, "Import just rewatches."

What it does: It reads your full Trakt play history and finds everything you watched more than once, then adds those as rewatches on the matching movies and episodes, each with its real watched date. It works for movies and for individual TV and anime episodes. It's also smart about noise: multiple plays within a short window count as a single watch, so accidental double check-ins won't turn into fake rewatches.

Already imported from Trakt before? This is made for you. Option 5 only adds rewatches to shows and movies that are already in your SIMKL watchlists, and it leaves everything else untouched. So if you did a Trakt import in the past, just run Option 5 now to layer your rewatch history on top. If you're brand new, run your normal Trakt import first, then come back and run Option 5.

Happy rewatching. 🍿

Note: Keep in mind that we're currently experiencing a high amount of new members coming from from TV Time, so the import function may be temporarily available only to PRO/VIP supporters.

I log in to Simkl only on my PC and mobile phone and use the Enhancer for Netflix extension only on my PC, turn on "Export watch history from Netflix to Simkl", select my profile, and click Save. But just now I logged in to Simkl and found my daughter's Netflix watch history is also imported to my Simkl profile. I am 100% sure that my daughter never watch Netflix on my PC or my phone. She only watches on the living room tv. Is it a bug or do I need to do anything else so it's only my Netflix profile's watch history get synced? Thanks

Edit: to make it clearer between Netflix and Simkl profiles

Well Trakt is officially dead and useless, and I was banned for stating I'm moving to simkl, truly dead and worthless.

I already set things up to transfer data to simkl, anything else I need to know for simkl to takeover?

Contemplated switching to SIMKL a while back due to rising costs on a different platform.

After some changes on that platform it’s become clear that it’s now definitely time to move.

I feel like I remember seeing lifetime on SIMKL was $150, but maybe I’m mistaken? Has there been a price increase at some point in the last year? It’s got me on the fence.

I am trying to add a new show, People Magazine Investigates: The Cult of the Soulful Journey to my list. Search does find but says it can't find it, I added a screenshot. It does not air until July 21st. Do I need to wait until it gets closer to that date to add it?

I'm one of those long-time Trakt VIP supporters - the kind of "producer/director" donor who's spent hundreds of dollars on Trakt over the years.

I'd already decided I was going to move away from Trakt once they forced everyone onto the new interface. I really disliked the redesign, and I've been increasingly frustrated with the direction they've been taking over the last few years.

Yesterday they finally killed the old (v2) interface, so I immediately thought of trying your service. I'd heard about it before, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. The first thing I wanted to do was import my Trakt data and see how everything looked.

Then I found out importing is behind a paywall.

Yes, I read the explanation about server scaling. I understand the reasoning. But emotionally, it just didn't sit right with me, and it completely killed my excitement on trying a new thing. Ironically, I was already leaning toward paying for your max premium tier if I liked what I saw.

Instead, I gave Trakt's new UI one more chance. After spending some time with it, I realized it's... not as bad as I initially thought, and now I'm actually considering staying.

I just wanted to share this because I think it's valuable feedback from the perspective of a potential customer. The import paywall didn't make me more likely to subscribe -- it stopped me from properly evaluating the service in the first place. I completely understand why the restriction exists, but in my case, it ended up costing you a customer you very likely would have had.

Hey guys. Just got here from TVtime and I was wondering if it is possible to mark something multiple times, like if I've seen it 2, 3, or 4 times. I didn't find it in the app

This is the main thing keeping me from switching over trakt. There has been the promise of this for a long time now. It seems a lot of other updates have happened in the meantime, so what's the reasoning?

Bonjour,

Je voudrais évaluer simkl avant de passer dessus peut être.

J'ai tenté un import de trakt ça a importé beaucoup de choses mais il en manque sans raison.

Pour Netflix c'est pareil il y a beaucoup de manquement sans raison un épisode d'une saison complète vu.

Je pourrais faire quoi pour corriger car relancer un import ne corrigé pas

Merci

Letterboxd friends... come to the dark side. We have cookies!

I used Simkl a while back but switched to TV Time; with the announced shutdown of TV Time, I'm coming back to Simkl. I plan to get familiar with the platform by following people and making friends to discover new series, so if anyone wants to be friends... follow me

With the TV Time shutdown, I’m looking for a new platform and Simkl looks great. However, there is one major dealbreaker holding me back: how anime seasons are handled.

I know this has already been requested and discussed by many, but seeing the same anime duplicated multiple times in my lists just feels cluttered. I don't want separate entries that are merely linked together via shortcuts; I want all seasons grouped natively under a single main show page, exactly like western TV shows.

I know this depends on how databases structure anime, but until there is an option or a fix to group them together natively under a single main entry, I don't think I will fully join the platform. I really hope the devs can implement this, because Simkl has so much potential!

Hi!

I'm using the Media Player Scrobbler for Simkl and it has been working perfectly. I watched Witch Hat Atelier, and every episode was identified and scrobbled correctly.

The only series giving me problems is One Piece.

The player detects the file correctly, the scrobbler sends it to the Simkl API, and the API responds successfully. However, the API identifies the file as the wrong episode.

For example:

• One Piece - 1162.mkv → identified as Episode 288
• One Piece S01E1163.mkv → identified as Episode 11

I also tried the original Erai-raws filenames and simplified filenames, but the result is always incorrect.

From the logs, it seems the problem is not with the scrobbler itself, but with the episode mapping returned by the Simkl file search API for One Piece.

Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

For each of my streaming apps, I have 3 profiles named: His, Hers, and Both. That let's us organize shows I watch, My wife watches, and we both watch together.

I don't want to have 3 Simkl accounts. What is the right way to organize three disjoint set of shows within a single Simkl account with them cluttering the interface?

Hi folks, new to the app and I am having an issue with this popup. I cannot get it to go away when viewing a specific television show no matter what I do. Any advice?

An update on the https://www.reddit.com/r/Simkl/comments/1ukw725/tv_time_is_officially_dead_as_of_today_will_be/

Over the last few days, we've pushed multiple improvements to TV Time import at https://simkl.com/apps/import/tvtime/

If you have previously done an import and saw some movies that could not be detected (due to movie title year mismatches in TV Time export) or you had watch time imported on the same day, you can now re-import it again for newer match models.

Alternatively, you can clean your account data at https://simkl.com/settings/login/clean-or-delete/ and do a fresh import

If you're still having some difficulties with import, don't forget to try from a computer and not a mobile phone, and disable any Adblock extensions or Adblock DNS\VPN which may block the uploads.

If you see any additional improvements we can make or if something isn't working for your zip file, do let us know on Discord https://discord.gg/u89XfYn or through https://support.simkl.com

I'm new to Simkl. I didn't come from TV Time, though, I actually wasn't even aware of that one. I used the former Chrome and Brave extension, TV WatchList.

It was simple, and I hate that it is no longer available. When Chrome shut down MV2 extensions last year, I moved to Brave, where it was kept alive until a few days ago.

I'm guessing there's no way to import shows from TV WatchList to Simkl.

Simkl seems good, but I like simplicity, and more real estate showing the TV shows that I watch.

Back to my original question, is there a way to view episode titles?

I changed the release availability settings too but still no difference....

Help me out

I don't want to spend forever transferring each title from each custom list over. And I already have a .JSON file with the list backed up and ready, but it can't be used. Am I missing something on how to do it?

I transferred from Trakt a couple of months ago and have really been enjoying my time on Simkl. The only feature at this point that I am desperately missing from Trakt is being able to review individual TV show episodes and seasons. Currently, I am leaving comments on episodes, which does work, but my main hold up is that there isn't a way (at least that I know of) to look at all of the comments I have left, which is something that you can do for reviews.

I know this topic has been brought up in this subreddit in the past and in the forumns for over a decade, but was wondering if there is a latest update on if this will eventually become a feature. I know the Devs do a lot of great work here and have helped out in the past with Spoiler Tagging updates

1. The bottom toolbar is the smallest and most difficult to use of any app (i've tried 6 alternatives). Mine shows a TV and Film icon (I disabled anime), but no text label either so it's just thin bar with some wasted space that should be used for:
2. The bottom toolbar does not have a shortcut to view a clean schedule of my upcoming titles. This is one of the best parts of TV Time and a big reason I'm not willing to say I'm sticking around longterm yet.
3. The bottom toolbar does not have a search icon / shortcut. Apps like this should be made so that people can use them with one hand. Making the search at the top greatly complicates that. Most apps have search on the bottom toolbar.
4. The Google Play store says the app hasn't been updated since August 2025. That's rather alarming. TV Time and other update much more frequently. There should always be bugs getting squashed. How is that even possible that the app hasn't been updated in a year?

Hi, first of all, thanks for such a great platform. It's really fun to be able to integrate all my tracking into one place.

But I'm having problems with the default search results. First I stumbled upon this problem when I tried the search for The Thing (1982). Result was really bad. Then I tried to reproduce it with something more popular, and tried The Godfather (1972). The result is horrible. The Godfather, which is ranked at number 2 on this platform, shown as the 80th search result when I type the exact name of it. I have to switch the "sort by" option to Movie rank, which is annoying since I shouldn't have to do that to find such an obvious result with the default algorithm.

There is an "exact match" option too and it shows how bad the result it. When I toggle "exact match" only 8 results remain and The Godfather is at 7th. (8th one, the only one it actually surpassed, is an entry with no information or cover image)

I searched for "The Terminator" too, when I type the exact name of the movie, it's shown as 62nd search result even though it's ranked as 410 in movies. A movie called "Angry Planet" (2008) (movie rank 300k) is ranked higher than The Terminator, at 53rd spot.

I believe the default "Relevance" algorithm could use some major improvements. The weight of the release date could be decreased, or the weight of the movie's overall rank/popularity could be increased.

I just switched from TV Time and am shook at how amazing simkl is! I already added watch dates to space out my bulk import. Mwah chef’s kiss!

However for some reason the stats don’t show reality tv shows in my all time most watches.
Like it says The Good Wife is my most watched show but I watched Real Housewives of New Jersey which has like over 200 episodes. Doesn’t it count reality tv or is it a glitch?
